Brook Elementary School staff and students were treated to a performance by the John Glenn Orchestras String Sounds. This is a high school level performance group that is known for its strolling around the audience while playing. The students shared the four different types of string instruments (violin, viola, cello and string or double bass), their highest and lowest sounds and various sound effects. They played several pieces of music, including Let Me Call You Sweetheart where the stringers not only played but sang the song as a serenade! Many students had the opportunity to actually try playing one of the string instruments. It was a wonderful afternoon filled with music and one to be remembered by all.
